Estadio de La Cartuja will host an intriguing La Liga opener when Real Betis and Real Sociedad lock horns. Betis were not in action at the weekend and will be eager to make a winning start to their campaign. Manuel Pellegrini’s side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Inter in their final warm-up game, but their overall form remains encouraging, with Betis winning six of their last 10 matches. They have been particularly impressive at home, winning 75% of their last 10 games there while averaging 2.25 goals per match. Summer arrivals Facundo Bernal and Fran Garcia are expected to make their La Liga debuts, while Sergi Altimira and Nobel Mendy have departed.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, head into their opener on a three-game losing run in preseason and have serious defensive concerns. La Real have conceded 1.80 goals per game across their last 10 matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet during that period. Even more worrying, both teams scored in 90% of those games. The Basque side have not made too many changes to their squad, although Aritz Elustondo and Brais Mendez are no longer part of the team.
As Betis have won 75% of their last 10 home games, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 (69% H2H) and 2.5 goals (Real Sociedad have seen 3+ goals in 70% of their last 10 matches).
This Primera Division match will be played on Friday 21 August 2026 at 20:00.
